The luckiest girl in the UK
Remember that part in Jersey Girl where Ben Affleck’s daughter wants to perform a scene from a musical for her school’s talent show and the musical she picks is Sweeney Todd and it’s all greusome and macabre? Come on, I know that 12 of you saw that movie, someone else has to remember…anywho, everyone’s* favorite director of the macabre, Tim Burton, is directing the film adaptation. Joining Burton favorites Jonny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter** is British newcomer Jayne Wisener. Nineteen years old, Jayne studies acting at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama; her appearance with Depp and Carter will be her big screen debut, and if she plays her cards right I predict she’ll be dubbed the next “it girl” within three months of the movie’s release.
*By everyone, I mean Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride fans, of course.
**You know how Quentin Tarantino has said that Uma Thurman is his muse? I get the feeling that Burton feels the same way about Carter.
